If it’s your job to find racism in a post-racial society, you have to be creative. I have to hand it to the race-hustlers because they have determined that both the game show Wheel of Fortune and Justin Bieber’s wife are racist. Finding racism like the ins’t just a skill, it’s an art form.
Keep in mind that this Jedi-level race-hustling doesn’t come from Al Sharpton or Black Lives Matter but rather the liberal lame stream media. Let’s start with Time magazine busting Justin Bieber’s wife for cultural appropriation:
Hailey Bieber’s “brownie glazed lips” look is yet another example of cultural appropriation in beautyhttps://t.co/tN8EynqVjI

Check out this ace reporting:
Hailey Bieber faced criticism over the weekend after a TikTok video she made about “brownie glazed lips” was called out for appropriating a makeup technique favored by Latinas and Black and brown women since the ’90s.
In Bieber’s original video, which has gained 2.9 million views since she posted it on Aug. 23, the model wears brown lip liner with a clear glossy lip treatment from her beauty brand Rhode, captioning the post “ready for all the fall things including brownie glazed lips.”
Twitter users underscored the longevity of the beauty trend and how it was popular with women of color long before Bieber posted about it; they also pointed out how the racism inherent in beauty ideals means that Bieber is being celebrated for doing the same thing that women of color have been criticized for.
Because this is literally the most important news story in the world, Good Morning America did an entire segment on Hailey’s racist lips:
Of course ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ did a full story freaking out over Hailey Bieber’s “cultural appropriation” for using certain stains of lipstick.

But wait for it…Hailey’s mom is Brazilian so she is actually a woman of color.
Here’s what I don’t understand about this: pre-packaged lipstick was invented by white people so why isn’t it racist for women of color to use it all? Isn’t it cultural appropriation for people of color to use anything invented by white folks?
We don’t have time to ponder these things because there’s even more racism on the set of Wheel of Fortune, according to Yahoo! News:
Wheel of Fortune and host Pat Sajak have been catching a lot of heat these last few days.
During a recent episode of ABC’s hit game show, a puzzle with a racist history in the United States was presented as one for contestants to solve. The category was “Rhyme Time,” and the answer was later revealed as “EENIE MEENIE MINY MOE CATCH A TIGER BY THE TOE,” which didn’t sit well with viewers.
According to Vox, the original version of this rhyme is “rooted in the slave trade,” and was not used by children but by slave-owners. “Tiger” in the rhyme was originally an “N-slur.”
Switching the N-word for tiger was done to make the rhyme non-racist. Using the non-racist version of something is not racist. Duh. Sure, if they used the N-word version of the rhyme, that would be racist but, come on.
Clearly there is much racism in this country when a half-Brazilian woman wears lipstick and a TV game show uses a children’s rhyme as a puzzle answer. You should probably give all your money to Al Sharpton so he can pay his taxes and Black Lives Matter so they can buy some more mansions.
